Atomic cloks are dead easy to build. The micro counters are childishly easy to make. All one really needs is a vacuus tube. (Between the ears of a bimbo par examplus) and shine a beam of lumina therefore between and in a loop back through a FP cavittum. The refracted scintillation thus one each round trip of one decametre is mirrored thusly of a micro pulse generated by a femto laser and illuminates a light sensitive GASFET which decade counts the spillover bits thusly recorded more slow on silicon. Thus at 300 million metres per second we have a 3 billion per second lase-trip clock. Light in vaccuo is always the same speed so the time is rigorous. From gasfet switch to intel 733 we have a "cheap" atom clock. Femto laser is not so cheap but doable.

I will no longer edit anything with MS Internet explorer. This is the third time I have had 15 minutes of typing wiped out by hitting escape. Too many really bad bugs with MS for sanity I am afraid.

Suffice to recap that Bell and bad obsolete technology and anitcompetitiveness restrict progress and inventions have to have marketing. It is not sufficient to invent and assume clever uses will be found. One must market clever uses.
